Scheduled for 26/7, Aquaman Vietnam 2026 will offer athletes a unique race experience within a high-end coastal resort in Central Vietnam. A key distinction this year is its enclosed ecosystem, with the race course directly integrated with extensive entertainment and sports facilities.

Hoiana Resort & Golf, the chosen venue, earned the "World's Leading Fully Integrated Resort" title from the World Travel Awards in 2024 and 2025. It previously held the distinction of Asia's leading integrated resort.

Situated approximately 20 minutes from Hoi An Ancient Town, Hoiana Resort & Golf features a comprehensive array of hotels, a golf course, restaurants, and fitness facilities. This integrated model enables athletes to stay, train, and dine within the complex, minimizing travel.

For endurance sports enthusiasts, the resort's outdoor sports facilities, integrated with the coastal landscape, are a major draw. The Hoiana Shores Golf Club, designed by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., is a premium symbol of the entire resort.

Nguyen Thi Khanh Ly, a former Da Nang resident for 7 years and the Aquaman Vietnam 2022 runner-up, praised the decision to host the event within the enclosed complex. She noted, "Athletes can fully focus on competing without being distracted by external factors," highlighting the benefit of bringing the multisport event to a world-leading integrated resort.

Beyond sports facilities, the culinary experience is also a highlight. The complex offers over 20 restaurants and bars, serving diverse cuisines from Vietnamese to international, allowing runners to easily plan energy-rich meals before and after the race.

Athletes holding individual BIBs for the event will receive special accommodation rates at Hoiana Resort & Golf, starting from 2,3 million VND per room per night, representing a 30% discount from the published price.
